#1       Coke Exploder

Why I built it:

To launch a liquid a certain distance​

How it works:

Materials I used:

  • Coke bottle

  • Cardboard

  • Tape

  • Hot Glue

  • Bottle cap

First, you load some mentos into the mento loader. Then, a reaction happens between the coke and the mentos. The coke rises in the bottle and BAM! It launches right out.

What is cool about it:

It explodes everywhere! I learned it's not a chemical reaction - it's a physical one. The candy makes the gas release from the coke, and the bubbles explode. Another cool thing is that I made sure to put the mentos loader in the top of the bottle so I could cap it immediately and all the liquid would then shoot out the front.
